Chapter 1: Veer Raheja
Ever since this universe was formed, we all have been believing the same thing that earth is the only planet in the whole universe where life is found. This has been taught in our schools and colleges as well.
However, it is another matter that as science has progressed, it has also come to the fore that there are many other planets like Earth in the universe where signs of life have been found. The people living there are some version of us humans, just like here there are also plants and animals. The only difference is the way there and the thinking of people and animals.
It sounds a bit strange to hear, but it is a researched fact.
On a hill on Titan, a planet very similar to our Earth, stood a young 18-year-old boy dressed in black with a blood-soaked dagger in one hand and a dead turtle in the other. The blood dripping continuously from the dagger was making it clear that the boy had just killed this turtle.
Only then blue light spread in front of his eyes and a transparent screen came in front. It was written on it:
"The black turtle has been killed. devil soul not achieved. Get its energy to gain 0 to 10 gene points."
A satisfied smile appeared on the handsome face of that boy named Veer Raheja after reading this. He immediately placed the dead tortoise on the ground and tore open its stomach with the dagger in his hand. As soon as tearing the stomach of the turtle, Veer closed his eyes and moved his hands in a pattern and he started feeling the energy of the turtle coming inside him.
Then he looked at the power screen which read...
"The energy of the black turtle has been achieved. You didn't get gene points."
Veer tries to touch the power screen lightly. The screen went blank for a second, then it was written on it.
Your status: First level not passed.
Now your life span will be: two hundred years
Points Required to Evolve: One Hundred Gene Points
Gene Points Earned: Seventy Nine
devil's soul: not achieved
Veer's smile turned to sadness after reading his data and he took a deep breath and sat down on a nearby stone in despair and thought, "Even after killing more than 30 turtles in a row, I didn't gain a single gene point." . Looks like I've gotten their energy by killing more black turtles than I need to. Maybe that's why I am not able to develop further. Zero Points! Don't know when my first level will be completed and when I will get any status here.
It has been more than three months since he came to the 'Dev-Ashram' built on the planet Titan and even after so much time has passed, he is still where he started. Lest it happen that his whole life should be spent here in 'Dev-Ashram' and he would never be able to move forward. With this thought, Veer starts trembling with fear.
No, he cannot accept defeat like this. He can never forget why he has come here and what is his purpose. For his family, for the happiness of his family, he has to prove himself. So that when he returns to his planet, his mother and his sister will be proud of him.
Yes, Veer is not a creature from the planet Titan. Rather he is from the planet Earth. Then what is he doing here and what is his purpose? And most importantly, how did he reach here? So, it's a very interesting story.
Veer is also a common man like the rest of the earthlings. He doesn't have any special power like superman or spiderman or any such super hero. Rather, he is a common 18-year-old boy struggling with life's problems. But Veer's life was not always full of such troubles.
There was a time when Veer's father Vihaan Raheja was counted among the other nobles of the city. He had no dearth of luxuries. But everything changed after his death. Vihaan Raheja's brothers and his sister began to find Veer and his family a burden and one by one all of them ended their relationship with them. Veer's mother Prerna Raheja was deeply saddened to see such attitude of her relatives, but still without complaining to anyone, she continued to live with her two children in her ancestral mansion, which was named after Veer's grandfather. Got it
But even this was not acceptable to Veer's relatives. After gaining control over Vihaan Raheja's business, his eyes fell on that ancestral mansion and those people started pressurizing Prerna Raheja in different ways to sell that mansion and distribute the money received from them. But how could Prerna Raheja do this? After all, in the name of property, only this mansion was left with him. If this too is sold then where will she go with her two children. Secondly, Vihaan Raheja's memories were also attached to that mansion.
But both Veer's uncle and aunt had nothing to do with all these things. Veer still remembers that day when he had just returned home from college for his exams, and he overheard his aunt arguing with his mother. The hoarse voice of Veer's aunt echoed throughout the mansion, "Prerna, what do you want? This house belongs to our parents, and my brothers and I have equal rights over it. Now that Vihaan Bhaiya is no more, we don't want to disturb his wife and children. After selling the house, we will give whatever share will be made to you. But if you are trying to grab this entire mansion, we will never let that happen.
Veer's uncle was supporting his sister saying, "My sister is absolutely right. This haveli is the legacy of our parents. We all have a right over it, and you alone cannot capture it. Anyway, you guys have been living here for more than 20 years, so by that count, you guys have already reaped a lot of benefits. Now the time has come that we should divide this mansion.
Veer's younger uncle was also agreeing with his elder brother saying, "You are right brother. Sister-in-law, you should accept our favor that at least we are not asking you for its rent. But we all have a right on this house and hence it will be divided."
Veer's aunt was saying, "We have got our lawyer to settle all the accounts. The cost of this mansion itself is more than 4 crores. We are four people including you, so according to that we all should get 1-1 crore. Now either you give 1-1 crore rupees to all three of us and get this house completely in your name, otherwise sell this house. The decision is yours.
Veer cannot believe his ears after hearing such words from his aunt. After all, how can someone be so heartless.
Prerna Raheja started crying and while crying she said to her relatives, "Look, you people cannot pressurize me like this. You guys know very well how our situation is. I do not have Rs 3 crore. If there were, then why would this situation come at all?
Prerna was wondering whether usurping her husband's business was not enough that now they are not allowing her and her children to live peacefully in this house as well.
Veer's aunt while narrating her final verdict had said, "Then this haveli will have to be sold." Veer was very surprised to hear his aunt's words. He never thought that one day he would get to see this form of his aunt.
Prerna Raheja once again tried to convince them all, "If the haveli is sold, where will we be? Veer is about to finish his graduation and Anuja is still in school."
Dev's elder aunt told Prerna Raheja in a curt voice, "Look sister-in-law, now you are talking nonsense. The problems are not only with you. Veer has completed his studies from a government school and Anuja should also get admission in a college. But my son Daksh, he is in private medical college. Do you even know how much it costs for his studies every year?
Veer's younger aunt nodded in agreement to everyone and said, "Chhoti bhabhi is absolutely right. We all have problems and we all need money. Then why don't we sell this mansion itself? This will benefit all of us, and you will also be able to get Anuja admitted to a good college.
Veer's aunt on hearing his final decision said, "Well, we don't want to argue much. Either you give us the money or let this mansion be sold. The decision is yours.
None of them cared what would happen to their elder brother's family after the house was sold.
The blood of Veer standing outside was boiling after listening to all of them. When he felt that now he could not listen to the nonsense of those people anymore, then without thinking anything, he opened the door and went inside the room. Seeing his mother with tears in her eyes and his younger sister scared, his anger boiled over. And the people who were the cause of all this were standing there with merciless smiles on their faces.
Filled with anger, Veer shouted, "How dare you come here and talk about selling this mansion?" At this time Veer's anger was on the seventh sky and at this time he did not care that those people standing in front were older than him. When those people did not take care of the relationships, then why should they respect those people.
